The graph below gives information from a 2008 report about energy consumption in the USA since 1980, with projections until 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and making comparisons where relevant.
The graph depicts the 2008 summary of
energy
utilization from 1980 to 2030 prediction.
Overall
, it is evident that petrol and oil, coal, and natural gas had an upward trend over the years. While
nuclear and solar/wind showed a marginal increase shift to the future, hydropower energy
remained stable.
In 1980, the consumption
of petrol and oil energy
was 35 quadrillion
units
before slightly decreasing to nearly 30 quadrillion
units
by 1985. However
, its utilization is projected to rise to almost 50 quadrillion
units
by 2030, making it the most popular energy
across the years. Following
this
, in 1980, natural gas consumption
was around 20 quadrillion
units
before fluctuating to around 22 quadrillion
units
until 2015. This
figure will stand stably to
approximately 25 Change preposition
at
quadrillion
units
by the end of the period.
Moving to the next figure, the utilization of coal energy
was around 16 quadrillion
units
in 1980, and it continuously grew to around 25 quadrillion
units
by 2020. This
number is expected to climb to just below 30 quadrillion
units
by 2030. In contrast
, the consumption
of nuclear and solar/wind exhibited a similar trend. In 1980, the consumption
number of these energies was just below 5 quadrillion
units
. While
the nuclear will steadily grow to approximately 7 quadrillion
units
by 2030, the solar/wind will frequently climb to only around 6 quadrillion
units
. On the other hand
, the hydropower energy
used was below 5 quadrillion
units
in 1980. Despite the little fluctuation, it will stay the same as the initial amount by 2030 which will make it the least energy
consumed.Submitted by chocolate10
